  Other features and operational effects of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of the embodiments of the present invention.

  Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing an embodiment (first embodiment) of a water treatment system according to the present invention.

  The water treatment system includes a raw water pump 1 that pumps raw water such as ground water and factory waste water, an iron removal / manganese filtration device 2 as a regenerative filtration device, and a soft water device 3 (first and second soft water devices 3a, 3b). ), A reverse osmosis membrane filtration device (hereinafter referred to as “RO device”) 5 for treating the water to be treated supplied from the pretreatment block 4, and treated water that has passed through the RO device 5. And a control block 8 (control means) for controlling each component of the pretreatment block 4 and the water supply processing block 7. It is composed of

  Specifically, the pretreatment block 4 includes the raw water pump 1, the iron removal / manganese removal filtration device 2, and the water softening device 3 sequentially disposed on the raw water supply line 9, and at the end of the pretreatment block 4. Is provided with a water supply control valve 10. Then, a hyponitrous acid injection device 11 (first chemical injection) is provided between the raw water pump 1 and the iron removal / manganese filtration device 2 so that sodium hypochlorite (chlorine compound) can be injected into the raw water. Means) is provided. The hypoinjection device 11 is provided with a level sensor for detecting the storage state of sodium hypochlorite.

  Further, the iron removal / manganese removal filtration apparatus 2 is connected to the treated water tank 6 through a backwash water supply line 13, and a backwash pump 14 is connected to a pipe line of the backwash water supply line 13. Is provided.

  In the iron removal / manganese removal filtration device 2, anthracite obtained by pulverizing anthracite and granulated is layered on a manganese oxidation catalyst. Then, the iron content in the raw water is oxidized and precipitated by the sodium hypochlorite injected by the hypo hypothesis injection device 11, thereby removing the iron content from the raw water. Further, the manganese component in the raw water is oxidized and removed by the manganese oxidation catalyst.

  In addition, the iron removal / manganese removal apparatus 2 has a built-in timer, which periodically shuts off the supply of raw water and performs a regeneration process. That is, the iron removal / manganese removal filter 2 repeats the water flow mode and the regeneration mode every predetermined time (for example, 0.5 to 1 / day). When the iron removal / manganese removal filter 2 enters the regeneration mode by counting the built-in timer, the backwash pump 14 is driven, and the treated water stored in the treated water tank 6 is removed from the iron removal / manganese removal filter 2. The filter medium (anthracite and manganese oxidation catalyst) is back-washed and then washed with water after a predetermined time, whereby the filter medium is regenerated.

  The water softening device 3 is of a two-cylinder type, and the three-way valve 15 allows water to pass through either the first water softening device 3a or the second water softening device 3b so that the raw water softening process is not interrupted. It is configured.

  Specifically, the water softener 3 includes a sodium-type cation exchange resin (not shown), and saturated saline is stored in the cation exchange resin. When raw water is supplied from the raw water supply line 9 to the first soft water device 3a, for example, hardness components such as calcium ions and magnesium ions contained in the raw water are ion-exchanged with sodium ions contained in the saturated saline solution. As a result, the raw water is softened. Further, when the exchange capacity of the cation exchange resin of the first water softener 3a is saturated, the three-way valve 15 is operated by the built-in microcomputer of the water softener 3 so that the second water softener 3b can pass water. Can be switched. And the 1st water softening apparatus 3a will be in regeneration mode, and the 2nd water softening apparatus 3b will be in water flow mode. The first water softener 3a that has entered the regeneration mode supplies saturated saline from a salt water tank (not shown), thereby regenerating the cation exchange resin. Next, the first water softening device 3a that has completed the regeneration process enters the standby mode until the second water softening device 3b enters the regeneration mode.

  As described above, the water softening device 3 is configured so that one of the first water softening device 3a and the second water softening device 3b is in the water flow mode, and the water softening treatment is performed without interrupting the water flow. Is possible.

  Further, the water supply processing block 7 is configured such that the RO device 5 and the treated water tank 6 are sequentially disposed in a replenishment line 16 connected to the raw water supply line 9, and a reducing agent is injected upstream of the RO device 5. A device 17 (second chemical injection means) and a raw water hardness monitoring device 18 (second monitoring means) are sequentially arranged, and a flow meter 19 and hypo-subjection are inserted between the RO device 5 and the treated water tank 6. The device 20 (second drug injection means) is sequentially disposed.

  The reducing agent injection device 17 stores a reducing agent such as sodium bisulfite, and removes residual chlorine in the raw water. The reducing agent injection device 17 is provided with a level sensor that detects the storage state of the reducing agent.

  The raw water hardness monitoring device 18 monitors whether or not the raw water has been softened by the soft water device 3. And when the hardness of raw | natural water shows more than predetermined value, it judges that there exists a possibility that the scale adhesion to the RO membrane mentioned later may increase, and monitors raw | natural water hardness so that the recovery rate of the permeated water of RO apparatus 5 may fall. Cooperation control is performed between the device 18 and the RO device 5.

  The flow meter 19 measures the flow rate of treated water (permeated water) treated by the RO device 5 and transmits the measurement signal to the control block 8. The hypochlorous acid injection device 20 stores sodium hypochlorite (chlorine compound) and suppresses the propagation of treated bacteria. In addition, the hyponitrogenizer 20 is provided with a level sensor that detects the storage state of sodium hypochlorite.

  The RO device 5 includes, for example, an RO module 21 containing a RO membrane element (hereinafter referred to as “RO membrane”) 21 a wound in a spiral shape, and a pressure pump 22. The RO module 21 is separated into a primary side to which raw water is supplied and a secondary side that outputs permeated water that has passed through the RO membrane 21a. In addition, a drain line and a circulation line 24 in which a drain valve 23 is interposed are connected to the secondary side.

In the RO device 5 configured as described above, when the pressurization pump 22 is driven and a high pressure higher than the osmotic pressure is applied to the RO membrane 21a from the primary side, dissolved salts and silica (SiO ₂ ) are removed. Purified permeate flows out to the secondary side, thereby producing treated water. A part of the concentrated water that has not permeated the RO membrane 21 a is returned to the pressurizing pump 22 through the circulation line 24, and the rest is drained from the drain valve 23.

  The treated water tank 6 has a pressure detection type water level sensor 25 inserted in the lower side wall thereof, and the water level sensor 25 controls the supply of treated water to the treated water tank 6.

  Furthermore, a separate line 26 from the replenishment line 16 is connected to the treated water tank 6, and when any component of the pretreatment block 4 detects an abnormal state, the replenishment control valve 27 is opened to Water can be replenished from another line 26. In addition, the water replenished from the separate line 26 can use the raw | natural water pretreated or the membrane filtered water, or these mixed water according to the required water quality.

  The control block 8 includes a first control unit 29 electrically connected to each component of the pretreatment block 4 via the first control line 28, and a water supply treatment block 7 via the second control line 30. And a second control unit 31 electrically connected to each of the components.

  The first control unit 29 and the second control unit 31 are electrically connected. Then, the second control unit 31 transmits a water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 29, and the first control unit 29 sends an operation permission signal 33 and an abnormality detection signal 34 to the second control unit 31. Send. The first and second control units 29 and 31 are connected to an external communication device (not shown) such as a personal computer or a portable terminal via the first and second communication lines 35 and 36.

  FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing details of the control block 8.

  The first control unit 29 includes an input / output unit 37 that controls an interface operation with each component of the preprocessing block 4, a ROM 38 that stores a predetermined calculation program, and the like, and stores calculation results and a work area. And a CPU 40 that controls the entire preprocessing block and controls communication with the second control unit 31 and external communication devices.

  A predetermined electrical signal is output from the input / output unit 37 to the raw water pump 1, the water supply control valve 10, the backwash pump 14, and the hypoinjection device 11, and the residual chlorine concentration monitoring device 12, the soft water device 3, and the iron removal A predetermined electrical signal is input to the input / output unit 37 from the manganese removal filter 2 and the hypo-injection device 11.

  In addition, the second control unit 31 stores an input / output unit 41 that controls an interface operation with each component of the water supply processing block 7, a ROM 42 that stores a predetermined calculation program, and a calculation result. A RAM 43 used as a work area, and a CPU 44 that controls the entire water supply processing block and controls communication with the first control unit 29 and external communication devices are provided.

  A predetermined electrical signal is output from the input / output unit 41 to the pressurizing pump 22, drain valve 23, replenishment control valve 27, raw water hardness monitoring device 18, reducing agent injecting device 17, and hypo-injecting device 20. A predetermined electrical signal is input to the input / output unit 41 from the monitoring device 18, the flow meter 19, the water level sensor 25, the reducing agent injection device 17, and the hypo-sub-injection device 20.

  Further, the CPU 44 has a built-in timer 44a, and the timer 44a causes the operation start timing and operation stop timing of the water supply processing block 7 to be longer than the operation start timing and operation stop timing of the pretreatment block 4 by a predetermined time (for example, 20 Controlled to delay (~ 50 seconds).

  That is, in order to supply raw water to the water supply processing block 5 side, it is necessary to open the water supply control valve 10, but it takes a certain time until the water supply control valve 10 is fully opened.

  However, if the pressurization pump 22 is activated and the pressure is increased before the water supply control valve 10 is fully opened, the inlet of the pressurization pump 22 may become negative pressure and an abnormality may occur in the pressurization pump 22. Therefore, it is necessary to delay activation of the pressurizing pump 22 until the water supply control valve 10 is fully opened.

  Therefore, after the second control unit 31 transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 29 so that the operation start timing of the water supply processing block 7 is delayed from the operation start timing of the pretreatment block 4, The timer 44a counts for a predetermined time, and then the pressurizing pump 22 is controlled to start.

  On the other hand, when the water level sensor 25 detects the upper limit value, it is necessary to stop the operation of the water supply processing block 7. However, even if a drive stop command is issued from the first control unit 29 to the raw water pump 1, the rotating blades of the raw water pump 1 rotate due to inertia for a certain period of time. For this reason, if the water supply processing block 7 is stopped simultaneously with the drive stop command of the raw water pump 1, the internal pressure of the RO device 5 may be excessively increased or a piping failure such as a water hammer may occur.

  Therefore, the second control unit 31 invalidates the water supply request signal 32 so that the operation stop timing of the water supply processing block 7 is delayed from the operation stop timing of the pretreatment block 4, and then uses the timer 44 a for the raw water pump 1. Control is performed so as to stop the operation of the water supply processing block 7 after measuring a predetermined time such that the rotary blades of the water supply stop.

  The water treatment system configured as described above is operated as follows.

  First, the first control unit 29 transmits an operation permission signal 33 to the second control unit 31. Next, after confirming that the second control unit 31 has received the operation permission signal 33, the second control unit 31 transmits a water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 29.

The first control unit 29 that has received the water supply request signal 32 issues a drive command to the raw water pump 1 and issues a valve opening command to the water supply control valve 10. The hypochlorous acid injection device 11 injects sodium hypochlorite into the raw water passing through the raw water supply line 9 based on the command signal from the first control unit 29. In the iron removal / manganese removal filter 2, iron contained in the raw water is oxidized and removed by sodium hypochlorite, and further manganese is oxidized and removed. Next, the raw water is softened by the water softening device 3 and is supplied to the water supply processing block 7 through the water supply control valve 10. When the level sensor incorporated in the hypo-injection device 11 detects a predetermined lower limit value, a level lowering signal is transmitted to the first control unit 29, and that is notified to the user by a warning light or an alarm sound, Advise that sodium hypochlorite should be replenished.

  On the other hand, the second control unit that receives the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 29 delays a predetermined time (for example, 20 seconds) by the timer 44a, and then operates each component of the water supply processing block 7 to operate. Issue a command.

  In the raw water sent from the pretreatment block 4, the reducing agent from the reducing agent injection device 17 is injected, and residual chlorine and the like contained in the raw water are removed. Next, the raw water is membrane-separated into permeated water and concentrated water by the RO device 5, a part of the concentrated water is returned to the pressurizing pump 22 through the circulation line 24, and the rest is drained from the drain valve 23. On the other hand, the permeated water becomes treated water, passes through the flow meter 19, and sodium hypochlorite from the hyponitrous injection device 20 is injected as needed to replenish the treated water tank 6. When the level sensor built in the reducing agent injecting device 17 or the hypo-injecting device 20 detects a predetermined lower limit value, a level lowering signal is transmitted to the second control unit 31, and a warning light or an alarm sound is sent to that effect. To inform the user that a reductant or sodium hypochlorite should be replenished.

  Further, the raw water hardness monitoring device 18 and the RO device 5 perform the following cooperative control via the second control unit 31. That is, the hardness of the raw water passing through the replenishment line 16 is monitored by the raw water hardness monitoring device 18, and the measurement result is transmitted to the second control unit 31. Then, when the raw water hardness monitoring device 18 detects the raw water hardness of a predetermined value or more, the second control unit 31 determines that there is a possibility that the scale adhesion to the RO membrane 21a may increase, and the pressurizing pump 22 A control signal is transmitted to the drain valve 23 to reduce the permeate recovery rate.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the raw water hardness monitoring device 18 and the RO device 5 are cooperatively controlled via the second control unit 31.

  When the water level sensor 25 detects the upper limit value, the second control unit 31 stops the water supply request signal 32 for the first control unit 29. As a result, the first control unit 29 issues a stop command for the raw water pump 1 and issues a valve closing command to the water supply control valve 10. The second control unit 31 that has stopped the water supply request signal 32 for the first control unit 29 delays a predetermined time (for example, 10 seconds) by the timer 44a, and then instructs each component of the water supply processing block 7 to stop operation. To stop the operation of the water treatment system.

  In addition, when the iron removal / manganese removal filter device 2 enters the regeneration mode while the water supply request signal 32 is being received, the first control unit 29 regenerates the iron removal / manganese removal filter device 2 into the first control unit 29. Send processing signal. The first control unit 29 invalidates the operation permission signal 33, whereby the second control unit 31 invalidates the water supply request signal 32 and stops the operation of the water supply processing block 7. Then, after confirming that the water supply request signal 32 has become invalid, the first control unit 29 stops the raw water pump 1 and drives the backwash pump 14 to remove the iron removal / manganese removal filter 2. Perform the playback process. That is, each component of the water supply treatment block 7 stops operation, and the iron removal / manganese removal apparatus 2 performs a series of regeneration processes of backwashing → pause → water washing to regenerate the filter medium. Then, when the regeneration process is completed, the operation permission signal 33 is enabled to drive the raw water pump 1, and the operation of the water treatment system is started again.

  Further, when an abnormality occurs in any of the components of the preprocessing block 4, the first control unit 29 disables the operation permission signal 33 to the second control unit 31 and outputs an abnormality detection signal 34. The second control unit 31 notifies the abnormality by blinking a warning light, an alarm sound, or the like. Then, when the water level sensor 25 detects the lower limit value when an abnormality occurs, the second control unit 31 opens the supply control valve 27 and supplies water to the treated water tank 6 separately from another line 26.

  As described above, in the first embodiment, the first control unit 29 is always in a state where the pretreatment block 4 is operable in response to the water supply request signal 32 from the second control unit 31. An operation permission signal 33 is transmitted to the second control unit 31. If the second control unit 31 determines that water supply is necessary and the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 29 is valid, the second control unit 31 transmits a water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 29. That is, after the second control unit 31 confirms reception of the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 29, the second control unit 31 only transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 29. Thus, each component of the water supply processing block 7 can pass water. That is, the pretreatment block 4 acts like a virtual pump with respect to the water supply treatment block 7, and raw water is supplied to the water supply treatment block 7. The raw water supplied to the water supply processing block 7 is injected with a reducing agent by the reducing agent injection device 17, passes through the RO device 5, and further, sodium hypochlorite is injected by the hyponitrous injection device 20 as necessary. The treated water is stored in the treated water tank 6.

  Moreover, since the control block 8 is separated into the 1st control part 29 which manages each component of the pre-processing block 4, and the 2nd control part 31 which manages each component of the water supply process block 7, it is 2nd By standardizing the control unit 31, it becomes possible to construct a control system by linking such standardized second control unit and the individual or standardized first control unit 29. It is possible to greatly shorten the period and reduce the cost.

  FIG. 3 is a system configuration diagram showing a second embodiment of the water treatment system according to the present invention. In this second embodiment, the water softener 3 does not belong to the pretreatment block 45 but is supplied with water. The system is configured to belong to the processing block 46. And the control block 47 is divided into the 1st control part 48 and the 2nd control part 49 similarly to 1st Embodiment, and the electric signal from the water softener 3 is the 1st control line 50. Instead, it is connected to the second control unit 49 via the second control line 51.

  As shown in the second embodiment, when the water softener 3 is a two-cylinder type, when one softener (eg, the first softener 3a) is in the regeneration mode, the other softener (eg, the first softener 3) Since the two water softeners 3b) are switched by the three-way valve 15 so that water can pass through, it is not necessary to invalidate the operation permission signal 33 for the reason of regeneration processing. Accordingly, the water softening device 3 may belong to either the pretreatment block or the water supply treatment block.

  Also in the second embodiment, the first control unit 49 is always in the second state when the preprocessing block 45 is in a state where it can be operated in response to the water supply request signal 32 from the second control unit 49. The operation permission signal 33 is transmitted to the controller 49. If the second control unit 49 determines that water supply is necessary and the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 48 is valid, the second control unit 49 transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 48. That is, after the second control unit 49 confirms reception of the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 48, the second control unit 49 only transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 48. Thus, each component of the water supply processing block 46 can pass water. That is, the pretreatment block 45 acts like a virtual pump on the water supply processing block 46, and raw water is supplied to the water supply processing block 46. The raw water supplied to the water supply treatment block 46 passes through the water softening device 3 and the RO device 5, and sodium hypochlorite is injected by the hypo hypothesis injection device 20 as necessary, and becomes treated water in the treatment water tank 6. Stored.

  In the second embodiment, the following cooperative control can be performed among the water softening device 3, the raw water hardness monitoring device 18, and the RO device 5.

  That is, the hardness of the raw water passing through the replenishment line 16 is monitored by the raw water hardness monitoring device 18, and when the raw water hardness shows a predetermined value or more, the measurement result is subjected to the second control as in the first embodiment. It transmits to the part 31. The 2nd control part 31 judges that there exists a possibility that the scale adhesion to RO membrane 21a may increase, transmits a control signal to pressurization pump 22 and drainage valve 23, and reduces the recovery rate of permeated water. Then, the water supply control is performed with the soft water device (for example, the first soft water device 3a) that is currently passing water in the regeneration mode and the other soft water device (for example, the second soft water device 3b) in the standby mode in the water passing mode. be able to.

  Although not shown, a raw water hardness monitoring device is arranged on the upstream side of the water softening device 3, an integrating flow meter is arranged on the downstream side, and the raw water hardness monitoring device, the soft water device 3, and the integrating flow meter are linked. It is also preferable to control it.

  That is, the measurement results of the raw water hardness monitoring device and the integrating flowmeter are transmitted to the second control unit 46, and the second control unit integrates the measurement results to calculate the removed hardness mass, and the second control unit 46 It is also preferable to perform cooperative control so that the water softener performs the regeneration treatment when the exchange capacity of the cation exchange resin stored in advance is exceeded. And by performing such cooperative control, compared to simply switching between the water flow mode and the regeneration mode with the built-in timer, the exchange capacity of the cation exchange resin can be used up without waste, and the regeneration frequency can also be reduced. It is possible to reduce the amount of saturated saline used during regeneration.

  FIG. 4 is a system configuration diagram showing a third embodiment of the water treatment system according to the present invention. In this third embodiment, a single-cylinder soft water device 52 is configured as a pretreatment block 53.

  And also in this 3rd Embodiment, the 1st control part 56 respond | corresponds to the water supply request | requirement signal 32 from the 2nd control part 31 in the 1st control part 56 similarly to the 1st and 2nd embodiment. When the vehicle is in an operable state, the operation permission signal 33 is always transmitted to the second control unit 31. If the second control unit 31 determines that water supply is necessary and the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 56 is valid, the second control unit 31 transmits a water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 56. That is, after the second control unit 31 confirms reception of the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 56, the second control unit 31 only transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 56. Thus, each component of the water supply processing block 7 can pass water. That is, the pretreatment block 53 acts like a virtual pump on the water supply processing block 7, and raw water is supplied to the water supply processing block 7. The raw water supplied to the water supply treatment block 7 is injected with a reducing agent by the reducing agent injection device 17, then through the RO device 5, and sodium hypochlorite is injected by the hyponitrous injection device 20 as necessary.

Further, the activated carbon filtration device 58 has a built-in timer as in the case of the iron removal / manganese removal filtration device 2, and periodically performs a regeneration process by interrupting the supply of raw water. That is, the regeneration mode is entered every predetermined time (for example, 0.5 to 1 / day), the backwash pump 14 is driven, and the treated water stored in the treated water tank 6 is supplied to the activated carbon filtration device 58. After backwashing, it is washed with water after a lapse of a predetermined time to remove foreign matters such as dust adhering to the activated carbon and regenerated.

  In addition, the reproduction processing signal is transmitted to the first control unit 62 of the control block 61 via the first control line 60, and the first control unit 62 that has received the reproduction processing signal transmits to the second control unit 49. The operation permission signal 33 is invalidated and the operation of the water supply processing block 46 is stopped.

  And also in this 4th Embodiment, the 1st control part 62 respond | corresponds to the water supply request | requirement signal 32 from the 2nd control part 49 in the 1st control part 62 similarly to the 1st-3rd embodiment. When the vehicle is in an operable state, the operation permission signal 33 is always transmitted to the second control unit 49. If the second control unit 49 determines that water supply is necessary and the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 62 is valid, the second control unit 49 transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 62. That is, after the second control unit 49 confirms reception of the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 62, the second control unit 49 only transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 62. Thus, each component of the water supply processing block 46 can pass water. In other words, the pretreatment block 57 acts like a virtual pump on the water supply processing block 46, and raw water is supplied to the water supply processing block 46. And the raw | natural water supplied to the water supply process block 46 turns into the treated water in which sodium hypochlorite was inject | poured by the hyponitrogen injection apparatus 20 as needed through the soft water apparatus 3 and the RO apparatus 5. 6 is stored.

The dispersant injection device 64 stores a scale dispersant such as a carboxylic acid polymer or a phosphinocarboxylic acid polymer. When it is difficult to arrange the water softener due to the installation space or the like, the dispersant injection device 64 can be provided on the water supply line 16.

  Further, the dispersant injection device 64 is electrically connected to the second control unit 66 of the control block 65 via the second control line 67. Then, when the water supply request signal 32 is valid, the second control unit 66 appropriately issues a dispersant injection command into the raw water to the dispersant injection device 64. Further, the dispersant injection device 64 is provided with a level sensor (not shown), and when the storage amount of the dispersant reaches a predetermined lower limit value, a level lowering signal is transmitted to the second control unit 66, and this is indicated. A warning light or warning sound is notified to the user and a notice is given that the dispersant should be replenished.

  Also in the fifth embodiment, as in the first to fourth embodiments, the first control unit 62 is configured so that the preprocessing block 57 responds to the water supply request signal 32 from the second control unit 66. When the vehicle is in an operable state, the operation permission signal 33 is always transmitted to the second control unit 66. If the second control unit 66 determines that water supply is necessary and the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 62 is valid, the second control unit 66 transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 62. That is, after the second control unit 66 confirms reception of the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 62, the second control unit 66 only transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 62. Thus, each component of the water supply processing block 63 can pass water. In other words, the pretreatment block 57 acts like a virtual pump on the water supply processing block 63, and raw water is supplied to the water supply processing block 63. The raw water supplied to the water supply processing block 63 is stored in the treated water tank 6 through the RO device 5 after the dispersant is injected by the dispersant injection device 64.

Is connected to the backwash pump 14.

  The sand filtration device 69 contains filter sand (anthracite as required), and removes suspended substances contained in the raw water. In addition, the sand filtration device 69 has a built-in timer as in the case of the iron removal / manganese removal filtration device 2 and the activated carbon filtration device 58, and performs a regeneration process by periodically blocking the supply of raw water. That is, the regeneration mode is entered every predetermined time (for example, 0.5 to 1 / day), the backwash pump 14 is driven, and the treated water stored in the treated water tank 6 is supplied to the sand filter 69. After backwashing, it is washed with water after a lapse of a predetermined time to regenerate filter media such as filter sand.

  Also in the sixth embodiment, as in the first to fifth embodiments, the first control unit 75 has the preprocessing block 68 in response to the water supply request signal 32 from the second control unit 76. When the vehicle is in an operable state, the operation permission signal 33 is always transmitted to the second control unit 76. If the second control unit 76 determines that water supply is necessary and the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 75 is valid, the second control unit 76 transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 62. That is, after the second control unit 76 confirms reception of the operation permission signal 33 from the first control unit 75, the second control unit 76 only transmits the water supply request signal 32 to the first control unit 75. Thus, each component of the water supply processing block 70 can pass water. That is, the pretreatment block 68 acts like a virtual pump on the water supply processing block 70, and raw water is supplied to the water supply processing block 70. The raw water supplied to the water supply treatment block 70 passes through the soft water device 3 and the RO device 5, and sodium hypochlorite is injected by the hypo-subject injection device 20 as necessary to become treated water tank. 6 is stored.
